PREMIUM SPOTLIGHT ON HOTEL PORTOFINO PERIOD SET SERIES SEASON 3 WHICH ARRIVES THIS SUMMER

    HOTEL PORTOFINO   
THIRD SEASON IS COMING THIS SUMMER
Hotel Portofino opens this summer again
I must admit I am surprised this one got pass the first season, but it seems HOTEL PORTOFINO is returning for the third one this summer Sunday July 28th on PBS. As you know, the series takes place in the late 1920s following the Ainsworth family who move from England to the Italian coastal city of Portofino to open an upscale hotel. The story is set after World War I when the world is in a global post-war upheaval. The charming Italian seaside town with its warm climate and enchanting culture and townspeople provides the perfect respite for the elite British traveler. The main characters are Bella (Natascha McElhone) and her estranged husband Cecil (Mark Umbers) together with their son Lucian (Oliver Dench), his wife Rose (Claude Scott-Mitchell) and sister Alice (Olivia Morris). If I got it right, six episode season 3 is already available in UK on BritBox before arriving to ITV later this year in linear viewing, and also on Sky Italia and Foxtel in Australia.
  IN THE THIRD SEASON OF THE SERIES
Bella is preparing for her father and sister’s arrival but is thrown off when Cecil appears requesting a divorce. Over the weeks, Bella must decide her future as well as avoid fascist leader Danioni. But with the Wall Street stock market crash, things get worse, and Bella and Cecil lose everything. Dark secrets are exposed during another adventure in this sun-soaked 1920s Italian drama. Louisa Binder returns as Constance March, Lucian's true love interest and the nanny of his sister's daughter, Pasquale Esposito as Signor Danioni, Lily Frazer as American singer and actor Claudine Pascal, who has become Bella's best friend, and Daniele Pecci as the rich Count Albani, who is Bella's advisor and Alice's love interest. Check out the third season trailer below:

      People were hungry for nice things and some relaxation after the war, this is why high fashion was on the uprise as well after the wars.

    Gorgeous clothing, gorgeous landscape, gorgeous actors, but no script and bland characters galore.

      Yes, none of them was likeable, they should have turned Lucian bisexual and have him have a steamy fling with his Hindu friend, that would have spiced things up, but alas, it was boring.

    I never ended up tuning into season 1, so I guess I'm glad I skipped a show that seems to be a dud. Or maybe not a dud with 3 seasons, but boring and not worth investing time into it.

      I tried, but the first season was just bad.
